Design

“Design should never say, “Look at me.” It should always say, “Look at this.”
— David Craib“

DesignI love to design! Seeing things from imagination come to fruition.

Colour

“Having small touches of colour makes it more colourful than having the whole thing in colour.
— Dieter Rams“

Over 80% of visual information is related to colour.

Web design is no exception, and there are a lot of things to be considered when choosing colour.

Code

“Programmers do their work but once, while users are saddled with it ever thereafter.
— Jef Raskin“

Good code also is always good practice, but sometimes valid code has to be sacrificed for usability and functionality.

Coffee

Tea and coffee keep me going when i need them.

But i find sleep and regular breaks also help ;)

Philosophy

Design plays a primary role in the interpretation of a message. It creates a crucial, lasting impression and generates interest. Accessible, understandable information and beauty of form can engage observers and arrest their attention.

A confusing, poorly designed message will miss its target almost every time. In a world where data bits flow abundantly, our minds have developed filters to sift through the overflow of useless and badly designed information.
While design must appeal to our sense of aesthetic, it must not stand in the way of delivery, cause complications, or introduce stumbling blocks. Rather, the presence of design should simplify and facilitate our everyday life, enable us to accomplish our tasks more effectively, and help us enjoy them along the way.
